Does anyone have a diagnostic definition of rhabdomyolysis.
We all know the clinical and laboratory features that result from
muscle breakdown but,
1. Is there a difference between localised and widespread muscle
damage?
2. Does it matter how high the creatine kinase rises?
3. Is it necessary to detect myoglobinuria, is so, how much?
I shall be very grateful for any answers,
Julian Barth.
